In this episode, the boys take a lunch break to cover 1999's 'Inspector Gadget.' From the director of 'Cool as Ice', an under 80 minute runtime and actors with a decent real life body count. Clearly a production that wasn't doomed from day one right? Also talk about Rupert Everett ruining Guy Richie's life, how Hollywood encourages failing upwards, and how cartoons don't work in live action.  

In this episode, the boys finish up their decent into the X-Men franchise with special guest John. This time to cover the 2010s series of movies.
